Air Canada suspends plans to resume flights Sunday after the union representing 10,000 flight attendants vows to defy a back-to-work order. The strike, disrupting about 130,000 travelers daily during peak summer season, prompted government intervention and a Canada Industrial Relations Board directive requiring staff to return by 2 p.m. Sunday. Air Canada now says flights will restart Monday evening, accusing the union of “illegally” urging members to ignore the board’s ruling.
